2K Sports' football game to be like a game full of All-Madden teams photo

Since Electronic Arts has a stranglehold on the NFL license, many gamers were curious as to what exactly 2K Sports would do when they announced they were getting back into the football video game biz with the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 title All-Pro Football 2K8. Details have at last been revealed and it doesn't sound half bad:

Imagine Rice, Unitas, Butkus, and Singletary.
In their prime.  On the same field.
Maybe even the same team.
Imagine preparing a precision squad of mercenaries—even building your own players.
Imagine football action the way football is really played.
Now imagine the best gridiron game coming back for more.
Imagine Football Resurrected.
This is All Pro Football 2K8.
This summer…the legend returns.

Features

• Draft your dream team from football’s legendary players--over 240 of them.
• Choose your arena and pump up the fan base to create stadium energy you can feel.
• Next Gen Graphics feature thousands of new player animations—games come alive with sweat and steam, rabid fans in the stands and dynamic weather challenges.
• 2K Broadcasting – A new style combining TV broadcast with on-field commentary to put you closer to the action than ever before.
• 2K Beats – Kick it off with original soundtracks, mashups and remixes by an all-pro producer with legendary artists (TBA).

Any game that lets me take the role of OJ Simpson is good to go in my book.

Can't say I'm too excited by this, but hopefully it will give EA a kick in the ass. Madden hasn't improved since 2k left the scene.

Still can't compete with Tecmo Bowl...no matter how many legends they pack into it. Unless of course they throw in the unstoppable god of football, Bo Jackson. Bo knows next gen.

Sounds interesting.
If I read that right, making your own team with homemade players sounds sweet, if so, I might pick it up.

I'm extremely excited about this. I haven't enjoyed a Madden game in 4+ years. As long as the 2k gameplay I know and love is still intact, I will be all over this. I have never enjoyed a football game as much as the 2k series.

I loved the 2k games, I will be glad to have them come back so I can play a Jim Brown(best RB ever) and dominate anyone. The only thing that could (potentially) be a little weird is that ~240 players at 22 people per team ends up making 10-11 teams, a little less selection than football fans are used to(though everyone really just picks one team and keeps using them). It would seemingly also make the game extremely player dependent as everyone would have an insane all star team, so you wont have some poor guy that likes the Browns getting stomped in competitive games. But then again, maybe with less than a third the amount of players of Madden it will have more space for many other things to improve the game.

The NFL 2K series was so damn good. I really need to unpack my Dreamcast.
